Congratulations to the cast and crew of PMRP’s spring show, Lest We Forget, featuring the adventures of War Nurse and her Commandos foiling Nazi plots during World War II, plus two episodes of the 1940s series Lest We Forget: The American Dream on the American values of tolerance, fair play, and standing up against injustice.

We hope you’ll come join us in April to see these thrilling adventures.

We are delighted to announce that we are looking for voice actors, Foley artists, and crew for our upcoming spring show, Lest We Forget. This will two short episodes from the postwar dramatizations by that name on the topics of tolerance, diversity, and standing up against oppression, as well as “War Nurse and Her Commandos”, an original script based on the World War II-era comic book character War Nurse, a mild-mannered war nurse by day who foils Nazi plots as War Nurse alongside her Commandos, women of many nations fighting fascism and nationalism. See our Auditions page for more infornation and for the link to sign up for an audition slot. Auditions will be Monday, February 12th, and Tuesday, February 13th, 2017 at Responsible Grace Church in Davis Square, Somerville, and performances will be in late April. Updated February 7: Audition sides, the paper audition form, and the conflict calendar are now available. See the Auditions page for the link to them.

In early December, we’ll be presenting our original adaptation of the 1964 Christmas B-movie, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, of UHF and MST3K fame, in which Martians kidnap Santa Claus (along with a couple of Earth children) to bring joy back to their lethargic children. This is a family-friendly event and for the matinée we will have some fun kids’ activities before the show.

Audition slots are now open for our Gothic-inspired Halloween show, Tomes of Terror: Lenore! We’ll be presenting three original radio-drama adaptations: Edith Nesbit’s “Hurst of Hurstcote”, Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Premature Burial”, and Poe’s ”Hop Frog”. Besides voice actors we are looking for Foley (live sound-effects) performers and other crew positions. Details and links to the audition signup form and further information are on our Auditions page. Auditions themselves will be on August 7 and 8 and signing up for a slot in advance is strongly recommended.

Have you ever wanted to create the sounds in a play? Perhaps you want to create the gunshots, horse hooves and window shatterings that abound in theater?
Well The Post-Meridian Radio Players are presenting a class on just that. Come by Responsible Grace Church on Saturday July 29th to find out if being a Sound Designer or a Foley artist is for you!

Our Halloween show this year is the Gothic horror trilogy Tomes of Terror: Lenore, and if you ever wanted to stand behind the microphone, you’re in luck, because audition slots are now available. Audition slots are at 7, 8, and 9pm on the evenings of Monday, August 7, and Tuesday, August 8. (Callbacks, if needed, will be that Thursday.) Our Auditions page has information about the process and a link to the form to sign up for a slot.

This Friday at 8pm and Saturday at 2pm and 8pm, we’ll be reprising our Arisia performance of our gender-swapped interpretation of the clasisc Star Trek episode, “The Naked Time”. This is an unticketed free event (although we gladly accept donations) and reservations are not required, but if you’d like to let us know you’re coming the event page has a link to a reservation form. Note that this event is at Unity Somerville rather than Responsible Grace.

And next month between the 14th and 22d (at Responsible Grace Church) we’ll be presenting our summer mysteries for 2017, featuring original adaptations for radio-drama of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tale “A Scandal in Bohemia” and a gender-swapped version of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, considered by some the first modern detective story. You can buy tickets in advance or make a reservation on our tickets page. (The performance on Thursday, June 20th, is a pay-what-you-can performance.)
